Tea good for mind and body - report
A NEW research study has shown that tea really can be a pick-me-up – with the caffeine consumed by typical British tea-drinkers benefitting both mind and body without causing health concerns.
The study, published in the March issue of the British Nutrition Foundation's Nutrition Bulletin, shows that the caffeine obtained from the equivalent of one to eight cups of tea per day offers improved alertness, short-term recall and reaction time, better mood and reduced fatigue.
But, coincidentally, schools could be told to stop selling tea to pupils younger than 16 under options being considered by education chiefs.
Coffee and tea have "minimal" nutritional benefits and pose health and safety risks, the School Food Trust says.
